Bloodwood Thin

Bloodwood is a beautiful colour -  deep orange and red!

Also known as Satine - Bloodwood is most often a deep crimson. Heartwood is a bright, vivid red. Color can darken to a darker brownish red over time with exposure to light. Applying a thick protective finish, and keeping the wood out of direct sunlight can help slow this color shift.

It is very dense and heavy - but that means it finishes well and can be nicely polished! Expect it to be a bit hard on your bits and tools but it is worth the trouble. Most often used in furniture, guitars and other instruments, inlays, handles, and turnings.

***Bloodwood is prone to cup/twist so we always recommend that is best used for smaller pieces and projects. You are unlikely to get a straight board so be prepared for some processing.
